This bonkers but brilliant premise means this is one of the more preposterous action movies of the year. It's also one of the most entertaining.

At best, The Accountant may be worth checking out for its very personable ensemble. Led by the deceptively mild-mannered Ben Affleck, they elevate the film above the standard B-movie entertainment.

It leaves so many plot holes and loose ends flailing about I wonder if the hope is to turn this into a franchise? It definitely seems to set itself up for a sequel no one will want to see.

Chunks of the narrative seem to have disappeared; in their place are rhetorical questions meant to bridge the gaps.

The Accountant should be a straight-ahead thriller, but the film keeps tripping over its own incompetent feet. Maybe it was made for adults, but it sure doesn't feel like it was made by them.

All the origin-story stuff, mysterious machinations, and even action-scenes come off as calculated contrivances in the end.

A movie that could easily have been familiar, disposable entertainment but is made with sufficient competence and energy to capture the viewer's attention and linger a little after the end credits have rolled.

Piles up plotlines like an overbuilt house of cards that comes crashing down at the first well-earned guffaw of ridicule.

The movie isn't some wicked subversion suggesting that the world is so corrupt that the bad guys are really the good guys. Rather it's a movie that can't figure out what might constitute a good or a bad guy in the first place.
